    Stop using Pokemon Essentials to make fangames and use Pokemon Unity

    Hey yo, Jcaraballo96. In all of your research, did you also notice how the dev teams of the 3d pokemon entries are approximately 5 times the size of the 2d entries? You mean the 3d graphics that have been famously criticized for lacking the charm of the 2d entries?

    [Discussion] Why dislike Gamemaker?

    It's as simple as "Rpgmaker" is specialized to do just that, make rpgs. And the core functions it has, and what Pokemon has, are largely the same. Gamemaker on the other hand is designed to develop any genre of 2d game, it's generalized. That not only means it's harder to develop a kit for, as...

    Gym Scaling?

    https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=309204&highlight=happiness This thread gives you an example of how to do something similar, ableit only for trainer battles. Altering it to work with badges is pretty simple, but you first need to figure out how you want the formula to deduce to...

    [Question] Grass sound effect

    Hmm, it's just an idea but, you may not need to touch any scripts at all. You see, for every grass tile you step on, the game plays the "Grass Rustle" animation on it. As this animation is made with the default rpgmaker xp animation editor in the database, you could just try adding the sound...

    [Question] Making a fan game on android possible?

    More work? Yes. Worse looking? Not sure I follow the logic there. A sprite is a sprite. It's not like 3d where the power limitations of a handheld device could come in to play. If you mean worse as in the player is looking at a smaller screen, then you might have a point. Even then, it's a moot...

    [Let's Go] Meltan’s evolution “Melmetal” announced

    The storage limit is kinda why I thought it would be a good idea though. If you could merge them prior to having 400 candy worth of them, that is.

    [Let's Go] Meltan’s evolution “Melmetal” announced

    I hate when they do bs retcon stuff like this. Doing a mythical evolution after 7 generations of none existing isn't creative, it's just stupid. Just like when they did cosmog being the first legend to evolve. It just makes the design team look like idiots for following a rule for 20 years...

    [Let's Go] New trailers showcase Meltan, teases new form

    I mean, the point of Meltan is ultimately to sell more of LGPE, so naturally they'll want to save the real explanation of its existence and ties to kanto pokemon, for those who buy and play the game.

    [Discussion] Was the Essentials Wiki taken down?

    Thank you. I'm getting really tired of this supposed "anti-fan" narrative some users on here are trying to paint. They do realize that Nintendo/TPC has allowed more fan-games/hacks of Pok?mon to exist, than any other IP in history, right? But hey, let's focus on the 1 or 2 they shut down each...

    [Discussion] Was the Essentials Wiki taken down?

    Relatively defeats the purpose of making an easy to use kit, when you have spend half your time locating resources to make it work in the first place. They do own the concept, the concept of Pok?mon. Monster battling =/= Pok?mon. It's not an anti-argument, because you made the assumption the...

    [Discussion] Was the Essentials Wiki taken down?

    Essentials being axed does anything BUT promote the creation of new tools. If the number one pokemon making tool gets taken down after about a decade of effort put into it, how exactly does that inspire others to try the exact same thing? Anyways, on the note of the "can we just take out all...

    [Discussion] Was the Essentials Wiki taken down?

    It's a moot request. Essentials is built on the work of 10's of 100's of people, not just Maruno. Unless every single person whose work is in the kit is asking it, it's not a valid request. Not to mention, I'm not sure how many people are gonna be buying a commercial work made with a kit...

    [Discussion] Was the Essentials Wiki taken down?

    I thoroughly enjoy people publicly discussing how to hide something on a well known forum that's given access to hundreds of fan-games and hacks for over a decade. As if the people at Nintendo instigating these takedowns don't have the ability to use the internet.

    [Discussion] Was the Essentials Wiki taken down?

    The amount of entitlement in this thread is simply sad. Sorry but "I spent a lot of time stealing those goods!" isn't a rational justification for doing it. Also, Essentials is still as legal as it has ever been. The shut down the wiki. That's it. It's simply their way of deterring people from...

    Image dimensions for various overworld sprites? [SOLVED]

    Yeah, you're making this way more complicated than it needs to be lol. Just throw the entire trash pile into a new image in the graphics editor of your choice, and then multiply the width and height of the canvas by 4. This will format it like a regular rmxp characterset. Then just make ONE...
